Home shrine decorated for puja: a framed print of Shiva seated with trident and crescent moon, garlanded with orange and red marigold and white jasmine. Beside it a framed image of a goddess with a crown and a nine-hooded cobra canopy, also garlanded. At the left edge a framed portrait of a smiling man in saffron robes and a beaded necklace, presented as a person, shown only as a printed picture. A brass oil lamp burns with a flame in a small lotus-shaped dish. Offerings include a brass bowl, small dishes of food, sweets, a plate of miniature deity figures decorated with flowers, and yellow and blue blossoms scattered over a leopard-print cloth. No people are physically present.
